Default Found a great spot for my Helmet Lock…

Should keep things out of the weather and away from the heat and I also found a one 8 inch coated steel cable from one of my other bikes of the past so I could effectively lock up all sorts of gear…

Great idea. I have a bike chain that I picked up from Amazon that I never use. Just something else to carry in a saddlebag.

What brand of lock is that? Does it just bold in between the mount and the peg?

If you shoot, or know someone that does, the cable lock that comes with new handguns or rifles makes a great helmet lock.

I use a similar cable with a small Master padlock for our hats. I just loop it around a frame member. It lives in a saddlebag. Nice option for your lock!

I use a set of handcuffs. They work very well, and although I am not a LEO, it may give someone who wants my helmet the impression that the bike owner may be carrying, so hopefully they will think twice before attempting to take my lid.

So...after the trial, they let you keep them?

LOL! funny guy.
I read somewhere, maybe here, of someone who was using a set. I tried it and they really do work well and the key is small enough that it fits in the bike's keyfob without poking you through your pockets when riding. I still have my helmets so they must be working.
